About The Marquette Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton
Quick Verdict
The Marquette Hotel is a solid downtown Minneapolis choice for business travelers and special-occasion stays who want Hilton Honors points without sacrificing a sense of place. Booking direct through Hilton unlocks the clearest value here: complimentary Wi-Fi, room upgrades when available, points that stack toward future stays across the Hilton portfolio. If you are status-chasing or loyalty-maximizing, this is the smarter pick over independent boutiques in the same price tier.
The Hotel
Positioned at 710 S Marquette Ave in the heart of downtown Minneapolis, the Marquette sits within walking distance of the Minneapolis Convention Center, the IDS Center skyway hub, the city's enclosed skyway system; a practical advantage during Minnesota winters that many visitors underestimate. The hotel's place in the Curio Collection signals a Hilton-backed property with a preserved local character, distinct from a standard DoubleTree or Hampton. Curio properties are independently branded but fully integrated into Hilton Honors, which is the key detail for rewards travelers.
The lobby reads as a renovated historic property rather than a generic chain interior; expect darker wood tones, structured furniture, a downtown financial-district aesthetic that suits a business dinner or a pre-theater night more than a poolside weekend escape. For celebrations or corporate entertaining, the central location and the visual weight of the space make it a credible backdrop. If design-forward lodging is the priority, the Hewing Hotel in the North Loop leans harder into its reclaimed-timber aesthetic, but it sits outside the skyway network.
Availability at the Marquette is generally accessible, this is not a hard-to-book property. That means you can afford to wait for a rate drop or a points redemption window, but Diamond and Gold Hilton Honors members should still book direct to lock in upgrade eligibility. Walk-in rates and third-party OTA bookings forfeit those perks entirely, which matters more here than at a resort property where the room itself is the experience.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
The Marquette Hotel reads as a downtown business address with a design-forward sensibility. It anchors Minneapolis’s financial core on Marquette Avenue, positioned for travelers who value proximity to the skyway system and the city's institutional center. As a Curio Collection property it balances a sense of place and individual character with Hilton’s global distribution, so the feel is purposeful and well-appointed rather than boutique eccentric. The result is a contemporary, polished downtown hotel that leans toward practical luxury—appealing to travelers who want thoughtful design and reliable brand standards in the heart of the financial district.
Best For
The Marquette is best for business travelers and anyone moving through downtown—especially in winter—thanks to its steps-from-skyway address that links to more than 80 blocks of enclosed pedestrian routes. The location between the IDS Center and the Government Center district makes it a convenient base for meetings, courthouse visits, and corporate itineraries. It also suits Hilton Honors collectors who prioritize loyalty benefits and dependable booking. Weekend visitors who want a central, well-connected base for exploring downtown attractions will find the hotel practical and centrally located.
Stay Tips
Book through Hilton’s channels if you collect Honors points—loyalty benefits are explicitly noted as a meaningful part of the property's appeal. For winter travel, prioritize the Marquette for its immediate skyway access, which materially simplifies downtown mobility in cold weather. When planning meetings or city errands, use the hotel's address as a hub for the financial district, IDS Center and Government Center proximity; those locational advantages are the primary operational benefits highlighted in the description.

Hotel context
Against the Four Seasons Hotel Minneapolis, the Marquette does not compete on service depth or room finish; the Four Seasons is the city's top-tier option for pure luxury, the price difference reflects that. If your budget supports it and the occasion warrants it, the Four Seasons wins on almost every experiential metric. The Marquette's argument is loyalty value: Hilton Honors points and the practical downtown location, not room-for-room quality.
The Hotel Ivy, A Luxury Collection Hotel, Minneapolis is the closer comparison; also a legacy-brand loyalty property (Marriott Bonvoy) with preserved historic character. Choose Ivy if you hold Marriott status; choose the Marquette if you are Hilton. Neither property clearly outperforms the other on atmosphere alone. The Hewing Hotel is the better pick for design-led stays or North Loop access, but it sits outside the skyway network and runs independently, meaning no points accumulation for loyalty travelers.
For budget-conscious travelers, Aloft Minneapolis covers the basics at a lower price point within the Marriott ecosystem. The Marquette sits above Aloft in finish and location gravitas. If a boutique experience matters more than rewards, consider Alma or the Nicollet Island Inn for a more distinctive Minneapolis feel; though both require giving up loyalty program benefits entirely.

How The Marquette Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton stacks up against the competition.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is The Marquette Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton family-friendly?
It works for families visiting downtown Minneapolis, but this is primarily a business and special-occasion property at 710 S Marquette Ave. The central location puts you close to attractions like the Minneapolis Institute of Art and Target Field, which helps with kids. Families looking for resort-style amenities or spacious suites may find Hotel Ivy or the Four Seasons a better fit.
Do loyalty programs work at The Marquette Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton?
Yes, this is one of the stronger reasons to book here over an independent downtown hotel. As a Curio Collection property, it earns and redeems Hilton Honors points, including elite-tier benefits like room upgrades and late checkout. If you're accumulating Hilton status through business travel, the Marquette is the practical downtown Minneapolis choice for keeping points on the same program.
Which room category is best at The Marquette Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton?
For a business stay, a standard king with a city view gives you what you need without overpaying. If you're here for a special occasion, request a higher-floor room facing the downtown skyline rather than the street side. Hilton Honors Gold and Diamond members should request an upgrade at check-in, as the property regularly accommodates status guests when availability allows.
How is the dining at The Marquette Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton?
On-site dining covers the basics for a downtown business hotel, but Minneapolis has enough strong independent restaurants nearby that you shouldn't anchor your trip around the hotel's food and beverage options. The convention center proximity and Nicollet Mall location put you within walking distance of a wider dining range. If dining quality is a priority, use the hotel as a base and eat out.
How is the pool and spa at The Marquette Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton?
The Marquette offers fitness facilities in line with a mid-tier downtown business hotel, but it is not a spa destination. Travelers prioritizing pool or spa experiences will find the Four Seasons Hotel Minneapolis delivers that at a higher price point. The Marquette is worth booking for its location and loyalty value, not for wellness amenities.
When is the best time to book The Marquette Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton?
Book at least two to three weeks out if your stay coincides with a major convention at the Minneapolis Convention Center, which sits within walking distance at 1301 2nd Ave S. Rates spike significantly during convention weeks and summer events. For the best rates, midweek stays in late fall or early spring offer the most flexibility without sacrificing availability.
How does The Marquette Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton compare to nearby hotels?
The Marquette sits between the budget-friendly Aloft Minneapolis and the premium Four Seasons and Hotel Ivy tiers, making it the practical mid-range call for downtown stays. It beats Aloft on room quality and lobby presence, but Four Seasons and Hotel Ivy offer noticeably stronger service and amenities for roughly 40-60% more per night. For convention and business travel where Hilton points matter, the Marquette wins on value.
